Information and research into chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), burnout, the HPA axis, the placebo effect and the relationship between mental attitude, lifestyle and physical health.

"All in all, I am very impressed with it and rather enjoyed reading it...I think it is great tool for patient education." - Peter DeMauro, M.D., Hackensack University Medical Center

Based on the latest research into areas such as the placebo effect and the
HPA axis, this website presents information showing how the mind interacts with the immune
system and the body's hormone rhythms via the HPA axis to influence health, vitality and stress
tolerance. This site also presents the first-ever cohesive theory to explain burnout, chronic
fatigue syndrome (CFS, also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or ME), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), post-viral
fatigue syndrome (PVFS) and other misunderstood illnesses, explaining why these
illnesses occur and how they can be treated.

Many illnesses such as CFS/ME, IBS
and burnout are caused by a dysregulated
HPA axis, the body's stress tolerance and energy
regulation system. As the HPA axis also regulates the immune system,
an imbalance can result in a susceptibility to many types of illness.

This site also provides information on the placebo
effect, which, although mostly ignored or ridiculed, is actually a
very powerful healing force and appears to operate through the HPA axis.

This website was developed by David Jameson,
a recovered CFS/ME patient who has been symptom free for
over 14 years (as of 2015). Please let me know if you find the information on this website useful, or if you have any comments.
